I am seeking equity co-investors to acquire a premier, full-service auto repair facility located on Bainbridge Island, WA ("Project Island Auto"). With 27 years of operating history, an established brand, and an affluent, captive customer base, this business offers steady cash flow with compelling operational upside. High-Level Financials & Deal Structure: Gross Revenue: ~$1.61M Business Asking Price: $775,000 Cash Flow / SDE: ~$512,000 (~1.5x multiple) Real Estate Strategy: Real estate option to acquire or secure a long-term NNN commercial lease with a Right of First Refusal (ROFR). Capital Structure: Proposing a debt/equity stack leveraging SBA financing (7(a) for business / 504 if real estate is included), buyer equity, seller rollover/note, and investor equity. Why This Target? 1. Captive & Wealthy Market: Bainbridge Island is an affluent market with high household incomes and limited competition due to geographic and zoning constraints. 2. Turnkey Reputation: Outstanding customer goodwill (4.8+ stars across review platforms) with deep specialization in Domestic, Asian Import, and European vehicles. 3. Sticky Revenue: High repeat customer base, strong fleet/shuttle utilization, and long-tenured, certified technicians. Operator Fit & Value Creation Strategy: As an experienced automotive store manager with over 15 years in high-volume retail tire, mechanical, and commercial fleet management, I bring direct, hands-on domain expertise. I don't need a learning curve—I can step in day one to maintain shop efficiency and lead technician culture. Growth Levers: Tire & Alignment Integration: Introduce high-margin light truck/passenger tire sales and alignment packages to capture business currently leaving the island. Modernized Operations: Upgrade shop management software (SMS) and digital vehicle inspection (DVI) workflows to boost average repair order (ARO) and shop throughput. Commercial/Fleet Expansion: Expand municipal, regional, and trade fleet service contracts across Kitsap County. Next Steps & Contact I am currently finalizing deal modeling, debt pre-qualification, and the Indication of Interest (IOI). I am looking to connect with accredited investors, search funds, or family offices interested in participating in the equity stack.
